Frito Pie has been a favorite meal of mine since I was a kid. It’s quick and easy to toss together, making it the perfect weeknight meal! It only takes 20 minutes to toss together and it’s seriously delicious!

For my kicked-up version of this classic, I added my favorite buffalo sauce (of course!), diced green chilies and a few extra spices. These add just the perfect amount of heat and a ton of flavor to this already delicious dish!
